WHAT'S NEW: DROUGHT 2012 UPDATE--CHECK THE REPORT PAGE FOR MORE DETAIL ABOUT THE LONG TERM PROSPECTS FOR THIS
SUMMER SEASON. WE HAVE SOME GREAT FISHING CURRENTLY BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF RUNOFF. WE NORMALLY HAVE ADVERSE, HIGH
WATER CONDITIONS DURING MUCH OF MAY AND JUNE, BUT DUE TO THE INCREDIBLE LACK OF SNOW THIS WINTER, LEVELS AND CLARITY ARE IDEAL
RIGHT NOW--DON'T WAIT UNTIL AUGUST THIS YEAR--BOOK YOUR TRIP NOW! WE HAVE MOVED THE SHOP! You may have heard, and yes it's true--we outgrew our old Main
St. location and moved into the old Radio Shack space in the Carbondale City Market Plaza in April of 2011. We are now
the biggest and best stocked fly fishing shop in the Roaring Fork Valley. We have lots of new arrivals for 2012, and
our shop sign is highly visible as you drive by the intersection of Highway 133 and Main St. We are available for guide
trips daily and the shop is open for business 9:00 to 6:00 daily.
Even more new gear for 2012--our latest arrivals are Ross Reels and Titan Rod Vaults. We
are trying to get everything listed in our online shop as quickly as we can now that we have finished moving--the online shop
will open again with new 2012 products in another month or two. Stop in or call for our latest additions.

Crystal Fly Shop has moved from our old location--we're now at 1087 Highway
133 in the old Radio Shack space next to Carbondale City Market. Come check out our big new space--we are the largest
, most fully stocked fly shop in the Roaring Fork valley.

Runoff has been basically non-existant so far in April and early May, and we don't expect any mud or high
levels like we usually have over the next 6 weeks. Green Drakes will be very early on the Roaring Fork and Colorado--starting
around Memorial Day just like they did in 2002. Get out and fish early this summer, because we will have
adverse low water conditions to some degree in August. Check our report page for the latest details, and now is the time
to book your float or wade trip!

In addition to offering guided float trips and guided wade trips, we are an authorized dealer for R.L. Winston Rods, Galvan Reels, Hardy & Greys Rods and Reels, Ross Reels, Redington Rods, Reels, Waders & Boots,

we have the space for it in our big new shop. We are posting listings for these items in our online store as fast as
we can, and getting more from these great companies weekly. Our fly inventory has grown to over 1200 innovative
patterns from some of the most respected companies in the business. We also have the streamside accessories you need--all
at great prices. CFS is locally owned and operated, serving both locals and visitors to our great Roaring Fork Valley. We
